Safeguarding at Northolt High School

Northolt High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our students. We believe that all children have the right to grow up safe from harm to enable them to have the best possible life chances. Everyone in our school community, including visitors and volunteers, has a responsibility to ensure that all of our students are safe.

If you are worried about the safety or welfare of a student, please contact the Designated Safeguarding Lead or the Headteacher at school.
